Tesla and Rivian delivery beats meet a slowing economy — momentum play on EV mak
Created
Thesis
Both Tesla and Rivian announced second-quarter delivery numbers that easily beat expectations, with Tesla delivering over 480,000 vehicles. This is a huge positive surprise for a market that was heavily distracted by a massive AI and semiconductor rally all quarter. While a separate report showed the broader U.S. job market cooling rapidly in June, strong EV deliveries suggest the consumer isn't completely dead. This combination creates the perfect environment for a short-term momentum trade: investors looking for growth will likely pile into the EV sector since it actually has positive catalysts, pushing these beaten-down stocks higher.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long TSLA on D1 when the stock closes up 3% on the day of a quarterly delivery announcement. RSI(14) should be below 60. Set a profit target at a 10% gain and a hard stop loss at 5%. Max hold period of 20 trading days.
